Council sits in the Weiser River valley in Adams County, a quiet corner of southwestern Idaho where the landscape opens into high desert benchland ringed by the Payette National Forest. It's ranching and small-town country — the kind of place where the pace is unhurried and the horizon stays wide. The town of Council itself has a population measured in the hundreds, which tells you something about the scale and spirit of what you'll find here.
A par-70 layout in a community this size almost certainly functions as the town's shared green space as much as a regulation course — the sort of place where locals walk after work, visitors from Boise or McCall stop in on a road trip, and the game is played without pretense. Par 70s typically trade a couple of the longer par-4s or a par 5 for a more compact, walkable routing.
What Council Greens likely offers that no scorecard can convey is the setting itself: big Idaho sky, clean mountain air, and the particular pleasure of golf that belongs entirely to its community.
